| The series before this, Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin was aired in the 80s and followed a dog named Silver Fang/Nagareboshi Gin on a quest for revenge. I've never seen the original, and I've always planned to downloading it from Animesuki but never got round to. But yeah, for any Homeward Bound fans or anyone who liked that Menchi episode from Excel Saga will probably like this. Though I really doubt that this will be subbed, I'm highly anticipating it. I'm guessing that this is a remake/retelling of the original since the two series are quite far apart. Update: The series is about the son of Gin. Hmm. (from Anime Suki Forums) | |

| The story of the Gunparade series takes
place in an alternate reality. By the end of World War II, in 1945, an
alien race called the Genjyu suddenly descended upon the war-torn Earth
to take it over. Suddenly, the world has a much bigger thing to worry
about than simple matters over pride and land. These aliens are out to
wipe out the human race! United for the first time in human history against an unprecedented threat mankind have fought the Genjyu for over half a century, only to see their world slowly swallowed by the devastating foe invading the planet. Jumping forward to present day (sometime in the year 1999) in the Japanese region of Kyushu we discover the humans are fighting back with newly devised weapons known as Humanoid Walking Tanks (HWT), and the hideous power which is the PBE bomb against the Genjyu "Brains" leading the assaults on the few safe havens that remain. Ishida Saryou graduated the staff training school Tositake in Tokyo and is assigned as the troop flight leader of the 4th division of the 108th guard army in Aomori. The troop is lacking any experience though, as nobody has ever encounter the aliens in a real fight. Above all there`s somebody amongst the troop who doesn`t welcome her. Just in this hard times the Genjyu appear oncemore and the 4th division gets the order to make a sortie and fight them... top |

Tomosaka Kenji, the main character of this story, moved to this
coastal town when he was a child. At that time, the sea spread in front
of him was shying like lamune (lemonade), reflecting the sunlight of the
summer. There, he met a girl. Her name was Kokonoe Nanami, who lived
next to his house. Her room was only 1-2 meters away beyond the veranda.
Their rooms were so closed as if they were within their arms’ reach. As
the time passed, the seasons came round, they memories has been
accumulated with time. They think of their normal lives and common
relationship as precious things. Lamune Review ep01 - Random Curiosity |

Bitmap had this to say: "I simply cannot wait for this. The first season had a good mix of sport and drama, so this should be good. However, I've heard people say that the manga this season is based on has much more baseball and the drama is reduced....I hope not. But still, we've come a long way with these characters, ditching them now would be awful!" |

| It was the spring break for 11-year-old
Haruka living in Hakodate. One day, she witnessed a man atop the church
steeple, surrounded by snow glowing a bluish-green colour. This man had
come from one of the worlds of 15 years later, Rakurima Space-Time
World, a Dragon Cavalier by the name of "Karasu". He had the appearance
of Haruka's childhood friend, Yuu, as an adult. In the universe of 15 years later, there raged on a violent, ever-expanding war between the "Rakurima Space-Time World" that tried to protect the human world with advanced technological power, and the "Shangri La Space-Time World" that intended to annihilate all of space and time. It was a matter of time before Rakurima would be unable to withstand the attacks of the Shangri La forces, which were proud of their overwhelming powers. Finding that the key(=Dragon's Tolk) to halting Shangri La's invasion existed in the universe 15 years ago, the Dragon Cavalry commander sent in his Dragon Cavaliers into the world of 15 years ago, in order to capture the Dragon's Tolk. 12-year-old Haruka's summer break. She tells Yuu, pressured to study for the exams and feeling depressed, "If you're going to run away from home I'll go with you". It is in front of these two that the blue-green shining snow dances again, and Karasu appears. "It can't be... the Dragon's Tolk is..." mumbles Karasu in astonishment, as Haruka's neck starts faintly glowing, as if calling out to Karasu. Will the girl who holds the "key" to lifting the future out of despair, Haruka, change the future? What choices will Yuu and Karasu make? The destiny that spans space and time, is now starting to move. Review ep1 - Mathew's Anime Blog top |
